They only woke up when a particular alarm started ringing in the pilot’s cabin. This plane was delayed by 12 hours at departure for some reason. The pilots were fatigued because of this unusual incident. They set their engine at a particular speed when they took off the plane. now the plane started flying at this fixed speed. Meanwhile, the pilots fell asleep. in the meantime, some disturbance occurred in the control system, and the plane’s speed increased considerably. after that, the particular alarm of the plane started ringing under the mechanical system. The pilots got up because of the alarm and immediately took control of the engine. a pilot has written about this event in a Journal (Feedback) published in England: “i shudder to think what could have happened.”
